the way I see the world
I took a lovely 6 mile walk today, but for that majority of it I was fairly sure the camera would stay in the bag: there are days when I’m more interested in walking and less likely to use my camera.
Then I happened upon this rose.

Frances Ashton Rose, 7.14.15
Sometimes I pay attention to a rose purely because of its name. This was one of those times!
Bischofsstadt Paderborn Rose, 7.14.15
I had a lovely ten mile walk today. My first goal (about four miles in) was to get to the San Jose Heritage Rose Garden since I hadn’t been in a while. I’m never sure what I’ll find there: some of the plants only bloom once a year, after all. While many were past their prime, there were some that were quite lovely. Here is the first rose shot of the day. (Not my “First Shot” as that was of a passion fruit: I hadn’t seen one before and wanted to get a record shot, but it isn’t good enough to share here.)

A couple of things from today’s nine mile walk:
Different Greens, One Succulent, 7.13.15
First Shot: Succulent, 7.13.15
Red Dahlia, 7.5.15
White Dahlia (III), 7.8.15
Small Purple Petals, 7.7.15
(If any reader knows what these are I’d love to get the name!)
… and the answer is Lobelia. A flower I should have known!
Sharing two this week. Because green.
